Is there any way to disable the "the disk was not ejected properly" message?

I use a KVM and need to switch between two systems and have a memory stick that is in the KVM. The problem is that it's very annoying to get the message every time I switch from one computer to the other. I know, I can unmount it (and probably should), but I switch all the time, so it's a inconvenience to unmount, and there is nothing sensitive on the memory stick.

Sorry, I have no answer. However keep in mind, that message is to remind you that data is held in memory and not yet written to the disk. Which is particularly important when you switch often.

I've done this a long time and I have never lost anything. I'm not saying it won't happen, but I'm willing to take the risk.

Okay, I have to ask: anyone know why we got three near-identical questions within 10 hours—this one, 6090, and 6108 (and yes, the latter two have been closed as dupes).

@Dori It's the time after Christmas, so new Macs or Cameras with SD Cards :) Although I would like to point out that my question specifically was asking about the Write Cache, which is what the warning is usually about (ignoring issue like Symlinks/open system files on the drive)

I hear what you are saying, that you would rather take the chance on losing the memory stick, I just thought I would let you know that it does happen; I found this forum because I didn't eject my memory stick before disconnecting and wasn't able to access the 1.8gb worth of movies that I just took. Luckily Disk Utility was able to fix it, this time.

That solution has a negative side effect: It will also hide those "xy-application would like access to your contacts" popups. To revert it: sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.UserNotificationCenter.plist

Yeah this is very dangerous. It will most likely stop you from getting notifications from the system. In 2011, notifications were not a big deal but they kind of are today in 2015.

Certainly not an elegant answer but, you can disable UserNotificationCenter.app found in /system/library/coreservices - replace it with another app or file with the same name. It will stop any warnings popping up (including that your drive is full) so watch out for that, but in my experience it does what you are looking for.
